Murrill and the Fungi of the Pacific Coast Peter Werner In previous MycoDigest columns, we’ve focused on recent discoveries in myco- logical science. Upcoming columns will continue in this vein, but in this column, I want to introduce a new series of articles I’m calling “Pioneers of California Mycology”, Jennifer Kerekes focusing on the early discoverers and contributors to our knowledge of the mycota of California. This knowledge is the result of over a century of mycological Jennifer Kerekes, a graduate exploration by both academic mycologists and serious amateurs. All of our distinct student at San Francisco State California species and collecting spots were once unknown and undescribed and University and winner of the MSSF there are interesting stories to be told about their discovery.

Although this species was previously recorded from India, these reports did not include detailed morphological descriptions. Here we describe C. delicatus and provide illustrations and notes on fruitbody development, which has not been well characterized in the past. Key words — Phallaceae, peridial suture, primordia, sporoma, volva-gel Introduction Members of Phallales, commonly called stinkhorns, produce foul-smelling fruitbodies that attract insects. Their distinctive odor is produced by a combination of chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan (List & Freund 1968). Stinkhorns typically develop very quickly, often within few hours, with the spore bearing structures (receptacles) emerging from globose to ovoid structures called ‘myco-eggs’ (Lloyd 1906, Pegler et al. 1995). The order Phallales comprises 2 families, 26 genera, and 88 species (Kirk et al. 2008). Clathroid members of family Phallaceae form multipileate receptacles (Gäumann 1952) with beautiful and bright colored sporomata. Clathrus is unique in having latticed, hollow, spherical or stellate receptacles with slimy glebae (spore masses) borne on their inner surfaces (Pegler et al.

In this short note, the fungal species Clathrus ruber is reported for the second time in Romania, 60 years after the first record. It was identified in the northeastern part of the country, in Iaşi region, in a Lolium sward from a private garden. Twenty fruitbodies were counted between June and October 2020. It is not known how the species was brought into the garden. Key words: stinkhorns, rare species, distribution, new occurrence. Introduction on sandy and calcareous soils, in coniferous Clathrus ruber P. Micheli ex Pers.

It is a Phallales) that have been identified in species with a Mediterranean origin, Romania (besides C. archeri (Berk.) Dring occurring throughout the year in southern (Bereş, 1996)).

  • Redacted for Privacy
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATIONOF Kentaro Hosaka for the degree of Doctor ofPhilosophy in Botany and Plant Pathology presented on October 26, 2005. Title: Systematics, Phylogeny, andBiogeography of the Hysterangiales and Related Taxa (Phallomycetidae, Homobasidiomycetes). Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Monophyly of the gomphoid-phalloid dadewas confirmed based on multigene phylogenetic analyses. Four major subclades(Hysterangiales, Geastrales, Gomphales and Phallales) were also demonstratedto be monophyletic. The interrelationships among the subclades were, however, not resolved, andalternative topologies could not be rejected statistically. Nonetheless,most analyses showed that the Hysterangiales and Phallales do not forma monophyletic group, which is in contrast to traditional taxonomy. The higher-level phylogeny of thegomphoid-phalloid fungi tends to suggest that the Gomphales form a sister group with either the Hysterangialesor Phallales. Unweighted parsimonycharacter state reconstruction favorsthe independent gain of the ballistosporic mechanism in the Gomphales, but the alternativescenario of multiple losses of ballistospoiy could not be rejected statistically underlikelihood- based reconstructions. This latterhypothesis is consistent with thewidely accepted hypothesis that the loss of ballistosporyis irreversible. The transformationof fruiting body forms from nongastroid to gastroidwas apparent in the lineage leading to Gautieria (Gomphales), but thetree topology and character statereconstructions supported that truffle-like
